Took my car in for its second service. Second service was mentioned to them on the phone, is evident in the service book and would be seen on their computer.
When collecting the car I noticed that they hadn't done the brake fluid. So went back in. "oh it wasn't authorised by the service plan but we'll do it anyway". Odd I though as it is part of the 36k schedule and a safety matter. Waited around while it was done and went home. Looked more closely at the service sheet to find that everything that is specified at 36k wasn't done - I then realised they had messed up and done the 18k service instead!
Went back and spoke to the workshop manager who admitted it was wrong but didn't offer any proper apology and said he would speak to the service plan people. Took till the end of the week to get that sorted and then had to book the car in again to get the rest of the work done. By this point I had also noticed that they hadn't even done all that they said they did. Pollen filter was sooty and they hadn't reset the service counter (you can check the miles to go in the menu).
Service was done correctly the second time round (at least it appears to) but I have now lost confidence in Arnold Clark. Furthermore I have not been offered any kind of compensation - given that I had to go back in twice to get it sorted, so about 3 hours of my time plus extra travelling costs.
To be fair the staff at the desk were very pleasant. Seems ridiculous they the mistake was made and it could certainly have been sorted out much more smoothly.
